Book Synopsis Molecular Mechanisms Underpinning the Development of Obesity by : Clévio Nóbrega
Download or read book Molecular Mechanisms Underpinning the Development of Obesity written by Clévio Nóbrega. This book was released on 2014-12-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity is a multi-factorial disease, in which an excess of accumulated body fat can reach levels capable of affecting health. It results from an interplay between environmental factors, eating behavior, genes, epigenetics, and neuronal stimuli. The main aim of this book is to provide a state-of-the-art revision about the molecular mechanisms underpinning the development of obesity, reviewing the current knowledge in areas like monogenic and polygenic obesity forms, but also providing an updated view of the emerging knowledge about epigenetics, nutrigenomics, and neuronal aspects that also contribute to obesity.

Book Synopsis Cellular and Biochemical Mechanisms of Obesity by : Paramjit S. Tappia
Download or read book Cellular and Biochemical Mechanisms of Obesity written by Paramjit S. Tappia. This book was released on 2021-12-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global health has been challenged with the dawning of the era of the obesity epidemic, and thus as a consequence, strategies to reduce obesity have become public health priorities. According to the United Nations, obesity has been identified as a concern for achieving Sustainable Development Goals. Obesity is a serious health problem with an increased risk of several common diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Although the fundamental cause of obesity and overweight is an imbalance between calorie intake and calorie expenditure, the underlying biochemical and metabolic processes that cause obesity are not fully understood. Two earlier volumes dedicated to the subject of obesity, published in the series “Advances in Biochemistry in Health and Disease” focused on the pathophysiology of obesity-induced health complications and the biochemistry of cardiovascular dysfunction in obesity. This book brings together contributions from international experts in the field to describe advancements on the mechanisms leading to development of obesity and related complications. There are 21 chapters in two different parts in this book, comprising of Part I: Pathophysiologic Mechanisms of Obesity (11 chapters) and Part II: Therapeutic Mechanisms of Obesity (10 chapters). This book will serve as a resource and be of interest to health professionals, medical students, fellows, residents and graduate students. It will also evoke innovative research and effective approaches for the prevention of obesity. This volume will accentuate that obesity is a major health hazard in its own right and that appropriate public health measures should be implemented to prevent or reduce or even reverse the impact of this global chronic disease.

Book Synopsis The Adipocyte and Obesity by : Charles H. Hollenberg
Download or read book The Adipocyte and Obesity written by Charles H. Hollenberg. This book was released on 1983. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The proceedings of a 1982 international conference covers 33 review articles on research findings and the current state of knowledge of various metabolic and mechanistic aspects of the associations between the adipocyte fat cell and obesity. The articles address various facets of adipose cell growth and development; insulin action; lipid assimilation and lipoprotein and cholesterol metabolism in adipose tissue; lipolysis in adipocytes; and energy expenditure. The role of adipose tissue as a model system for the study of mechanisms of insulin action is highlighted by evidence of new cellular mediators. Recent insights in triglyceride assimilation regulation by lipoprotein lipase and fatty acid release through the lipolytic cascade are discussed. Other topics include the role of lipocytes in cholesterol turnover, the relationship of cholesterol metabolism to lipoprotein turnover and catabolism, and aspects of energy balance and thermoregulation in obesity.
